Hacking PS1/2 PS2 "modchip" not working

[AfanGotTheWiiOn26December]

I burned a DVD-R of Tetris Worlds (just a quick game to test if it works) and it's not reading, giving an error "This disc could not be read". Holding □ gives me the ToxicBIOS and holding L1 says it's disabled. New to PS2 modding btw

What is the model number of the console and what chip do you have installed?

You have a clone of a DMS4 modchip, similar to the Mars Pro or M-Chip line of chips.
Since your model of PS2 is a V12(?), it is highly recommended to install a PIC fix to prevent the wear and tear to the laser whilst using burned media.

I know, but nothing is showing up besides the memory card. Did the laser dead?

It would likely be dead if anything you insert doesn't get recognised.

The only way to do ANYTHING with it is to buy a FMCB memory card?

His model is 77004 which means it's V15.

Pic Fix is not needed in this model

I found another post about some ps1/dvd mode. I press twice no cigar.
